PRP is also used like fillers, injected into facial wrinkles and folds to add volume to the skin.

It can also be done along with fillers for deeper folds for additional augmentation and a longer lasting fill. Platelets generate a fibrin lattice that signals your fibroblast cells to produce new collagen and the bodies own natural filler.
Occasionally, Platelet Rich Plasma is applied topically, on the surface along of the skin with Dermaroller or microneedling for more superficial regeneration.
